...until almost the beginning of this century when Langley, Chanute, and the Wright brothers turned their attention to this invention was anything like success attained. The flying machine was the outcome of experiments in gliding. The Wright brothers made many trials in this way, and in 1903 applied a motor to their machine. Since then no essential change has been made in their invention, a very remarkable fact...
...used for reconnoitering in times of war, and for this purpose the French have built the "Republique" and the Germans are helping Count Zeppelin construct another dirigible balloon. The great advance that has been made in this line is in the fact that these balloons are driven by motor power...
Gliding machines were first invented by Lilienthal in Germany, and later by Chanute in this country. On their principle the Wright brothers first built their aeroplane. Several years ago they attached a motor to it and, after patenting it in Washington, proceeded to experiment with it. Competing against Frenchmen and Germans they have won the championship of the air and have shown that flying is both possible and practical...
...almost midway between Harvard Bridge and the new Boston Bridge. Although the building is being constructed chiefly for purposes of exhibition, it is expected that large indoor athletic contests, and perhaps national conventions will be given the use of the hall. It will be especially suitable for automobile and motor boat shows, since trials of the motor boats can be viewed at the same time that the automobiles are being exhibited in the hall...
Professor L. S. Marks, of the Division of engineering, has recently returned from Europe, where he has spent the past year in investigation concerning the internal combustion motor or gas engine in Germany, France, and England. He has also studied the questions of laboratory equipment and the methods of instruction in the leading technical high schools of these same countries...
